    摘要: A film stack includes an interlayer dielectric formed over one or more devices. The film stack further includes a first layer having a high extinction coefficient formed on the interlayer dielectric and a second layer having a low extinction coefficient formed on the first layer. The first and second layers prevent ultraviolet induced damage to the one or more devices while minimizing reflectivity for lithographic processes.

    摘要: The present invention facilitates dual bit memory devices and operation of dual bit memory device by providing systems and methods that employ a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner during fabrication, instead of a relatively thick TEOS layer that is conventionally used. Employment of the relatively thin liner facilitates dual bit memory device operation by mitigating charge loss and contact resistance while providing protection against unwanted dopant diffusion. The present invention includes utilizing a relatively thin undoped TEOS liner that is formed on wordlines and portions of a charge trapping dielectric layer. The relatively thin undoped TEOS liner is formed with a thickness of less than about 400 Angstroms so that contact resistance and charge loss are improved and yet providing suitable protection for operation of the device. Additionally, the present invention includes foregoing with an undoped TEOS liner altogether.

    摘要: A memory device may include a substrate, a first dielectric layer formed over the substrate and a charge storage element formed over the first dielectric layer. The memory device may also include a second dielectric layer formed over the charge storage element and a control gate formed over the second dielectric layer. The memory device may further include an interlayer dielectric formed over the control gate and the substrate, where the interlayer dielectric includes a material that is substantially opaque to ultraviolet radiation.

    摘要: The present invention leverages an etch-back process to provide an electrode cap for a polymer memory element. This allows the polymer memory element to be formed within a via embedded in layers formed on a substrate. By utilizing the etch-back process, the present invention provides tiny electrical contacts necessary for the proper functioning of polymer memory devices that utilize the vias. In one instance of the present invention, one or more via openings are formed in a dielectric layer to expose an underlying layer. A polymer layer is then formed within the via on the underlying layer with a top electrode material layer deposited over the polymer layer, filling the remaining portion of the via. Excess portions of the top electrode material are then removed by an etching process to form an electrode cap that provides an electrical contact point for the polymer memory element.
